THE ONE GAME-CHANGING WEIGHT LOSS QUESTION...

"Am I hungry?"

Don't be tempted to under estimate the power of this simple question.

I guarantee it is the key to putting an end to overeating and therefore, the one question to help you lose weight and keep it off.

So...
- WHENEVER you think of food.
- BEFORE you eat anything and
- WHILE you’re eating any meal.

Ask yourself

"Am I hungry?"

WHY MAINTAINING WEIGHT LOSS IS THE HARD PART?

Have we you ever thought it's pretty funny (ironical) that diet books begin with this assumption, "All diets fail!"

My 13 year experiences and teaching from Dr. Tran, Ideal Protein's founder, is exactly opposite, "All diets work"

The disconnect?

Within 3 years, 95%+ regain their weight and more. That's not a failure of the diet, that's the challenge of keeping it off- maintenance.

And that's a totally different beast.

Why is maintaining so hard? The short answer...we can't go where we don't know.

SELF-AWARENESS…an honest look in the mirror with NO judgement or criticism.

Don’t leave home without it AND definitely don’t start any weight loss program without both self-awareness and self-awesomeness.

Consider answering the following 4 questions about yourself:

1. Can I do it?
2. Do I want to do it?
3. Can I do it without help?
4. Do I need accountability?

These are all self-awareness evaluations, answering this one BIG question, “Am I ready?

Dr. Tran compassionately says, “Dieting is hard. It takes courage to lose weight. Because it means agreeing to sacrifice deeply rooted habits”

Ain’t that the truth!
And please notice that one word- agreeing.

When you start your weight loss journey, look in the mirror, and say in your out loud voice, “I’m ready and I understand what I’m really doing is making an agreement to give up (sacrifice) deeply rooted habits.

Here’s a couple of self-awareness tips:

1. Pick a readiness number between 1 and 10. The only rule is, you can’t pick 7. If you’re a 6 or less, you’re not ready; 8 or above, go for it.

2. Take a piece of paper and write down your personal list of those 2 to 3 habits your agreeing to change for good.

3. Bonus tip: share # 1 & 2 with your coach or accountablility partner when you get started.

RESPECT TO DR. TRAN on this Valentines Day…my teacher and coach.

In one statement, Dr. Tran reveals a 30 year misunderstanding in the diet industry:

“Many authors believe that the problem of weight loss is all in your head. (I think it’s a matter of the heart because it takes a whole lot of self-love to rediscover your body.)” pg.20 BECAUSE IT’S YOUR LIFE

What if weight loss wasn’t about staying motivated? Or even mustering up a huge commitment ?

What if it was less about mindset and willpower and all about courage .

It takes courage to go on a diet. And courage is a heart power. It takes heart to lose weight.

It’s like standing on a lake dock on an early, brisk Fall morning with nothing on, but a swimsuit and a towel around your neck. It’s that moment just before running and jumping in.

That’s courage! No wonder so many wait to start a diet protocol and then when they do, wish they would have done it sooner.

What If - Why Not Wednesday (COACHBOB). Staying motivated…

Ok…time for me, CoachBob, to do a health/weight loss update. Apologies in advance for this post being all about me.

And also before sharing, I sometimes feel I need to apologise for feeling so good.

- My mindset is optimistic.
- I have little to no anxiety, fear or guilt.
- My mind and heart are quiet and at peace.
- My energy is excellent.
- My sleep decent.
- My appetite satisfied with no cravings.

These last 4 weeks of taking control of my health and weight loss has been a time of remembering (a gift in itself) and reflection. I remember just why I love the Ideal Protein protocol and products.

How a single page, 8 ½ by 11, method always works and just makes sense. Simple plan for a simple guy, “eat the sheet!”

And bonus, my body shed 15.2 lbs of fat and retained my muscle mass. Damn good for a 70 year old dude.

I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT! Oh really?

How do you know you want to?

(CoachBob) DID YOU KNOW?

Your heart has incredible powers and intelligence. It is always communicating, leading, guiding us, mostly quietly, beneath surface.

And sure, life and stuff can obstruct our noticing it’s messages

But, it is always there. Next time I want to share one of the most basic of heart powers and impulses- “the want to”

What is that want to? What does want to feel like? Where does it come from? Is there a difference between need, want, and desire? Thoughts?

New year…yes! New you? Meh…not this year.

I’m over the “New You” mantra. How about we just be ourselves? Be you! Everyone else is taken.
